Verdict

Knowwhentoholdem won a shade cosily at Newton Abbot but is now penalised and might struggle to give 7lb, less Mitch Bastyan’s allowance, to the winning pointer Chase Outlaw and SUMMERGROUNDS. Nicky Richards knows the family of the latter and will have been happy enough with his gelding’s debut at Kelso in May when he found only one too good. Eden Mill was very green at Musselburgh last month and may need more time.
